A total of 53 workers left for Malaysia last night (August 8, 2022) as the nation's labour market was opened to Bangladesh since it ceased accepting workers in 2019.

The demand for Bangladeshi workers is not as high as it used to be as some sectors have turned to other nationalities for their manpower needs, says Malaysian Human Resources Minister M Saravanan.
Is a nexus of a few Bangladeshi recruitment agencies and a powerful segment of the human resources ministry in Malaysia trying to impose unfair and unethical conditions on the long-awaited reopening of the Malaysian labour market?
Bangladesh and Malaysia will hold an official-level meeting in Putrajaya today and tomorrow on opening up the Malaysian labour market for Bangladeshis as well as legalising undocumented migrants in the Southeast Asian country.
Over six lakh Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia may face deportation as the Southeast Asian country plans to reform its foreign workers sector, with an immediate step being the shutting down of its outsourcing companies by March 31.
